Did Fisher's hiring this week effect our outcome. Was Williams mentally gone already. Did the players know. They are people just like us. Not Robots. They see, hear, read everything we do. It just makes one wonder about the timing of Fisher's hiring and his connection to Gregg what distractions that may bring.

Very interesting.....

We need to hire Chavis from LSU or Alabama's D Coord.

I don't think so. I think our D played hard all game and collapsed in the last 5 minutes of the game. We've seen this before out of them... it's one of their patterns of failure.

Gregg Williams and the Defense wanted to win that game as much as anyone else... they just aren't the bunch that can bring us to the Superbowl again in their current configuration.

Leave him alone. He's fine right where he's at.

No

Our defense has been playing this poorly for two years.

It would seem that how good our defense hinged on Sharpers interceptions and when Sharper was taken out or left... so did our defensive success.

I hate to admit it, but we now have 2 years of proof.

Now all we need is to find a young ball hawking Hall-of-Fame Free Safety. No problem there.

Not to hijak..but I think he would make an excellent FS. Maybe im crazy but it seemed to me that he did the most damage when he was playing FS.

Back on topic, that thought crossed my mind as well. I listened to Paytons press conference and he didn't want to talk one iota about anything defensively related.
